Security Shield Description

Our malware experts have dug into Security Shield and found that it contains no ability to remove viruses and protect you from malware or any of the other functions that it markets. However, Security Shield has shown a marked proclivity towards traditional rogue security program tactics, including presenting itself as a free product while attempting to steal money by forcing you to register it. Since Security Shield hasn’t even a drop of positive features, you should immediately uninstall Security Shield with a genuine security program to protect your computer and your wallet.

The Emptiness Behind Security Shield’s Shiny Marketing

As far as rogue security products go, Security Shield has an exceptionally resilient and multifaceted marketing scheme. You’ll find glowing references to Security Shield on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as scattered throughout the web in general software storehouse sites. Security Shield claims to be able to perform a multitude of unrelated PC security and maintenance functions, but this isn’t terribly surprising, since, although it would be difficult to program a product that had such functions, it’s a cinch to market functions that aren’t present in the first place! Despite Security Shield’s various claims and the persistently positive marketing veneer that it hides behind, Security Shield isn’t capable of performing even one of the functions that it advertises.

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:

Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.

Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.

Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.

% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

i’ve worked on this security shield, i tried offline antivirus, it worked good, i restart the comp, and dl some antivir program (just one), but i when i want to dl an antimalware, this f…… program wake up, and no more to do. can you give me the best way to remove this wonderfull program (LOL). good luck with it….

Security sheild just showed up in my comp and I can’t even get to my home page. How can I get this removed and not lose any of my doc’s? Is there anyone that can give me direction step by step! I’m very frustrated. Do need to take my computor in and have some one else fix it.

hell no!!this security shield has destablised my pc.I cant find where the f***k in the installed programes it is.
I tried malwarebytes and cant do a thing to stop this sh**t.Even restoring is stuck…any suggestions guys?

Did C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\ and at bottom of page saw green and white shield and after I got the program closed I right clicked deleted. Sent to the recycle bin emptied then did a system restore and no more problems but for the 30 mins prior talk about pure HELL!!!!! Thanks guys The Fix seemed to work great!!

Security Shield just showed up on my computer last night – how do I get rid of it – I can’t get on the internet without this screen popping up saying I have viruses – no number to call – just a screen on what type of subscription I want and to put in my credit card #.

Tried all the solutions below without luck. In C:/Users/[username]/Local Settings I found a file named afimba.exe (Icon is a shield with light green and white squares) that had the date/time about when I contacted this bast*ard. It would not let me delete it. I found the registry entry for it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node/Microsoft/DirectDraw/ Trying to delete the Key causes a blue screen of death. First delete the values. I then changed the file name of afimba.exe to 0000.exe and it seems to have stopped the program from running. The program can be deleted using the DOS prompt. This malware seems to be self-mutating. Running McAfee virus scan did not detect it.

I had Security Shield on my computer and it did not appear as any of the files, processes or services that various removal instructions said it would. However, AVG found a file called liquid9529749.exe in C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\ which it removed and I now appear to be clean of Security Shield.

I got this installed from surfing at ebay.co.uk…… WTF is up with that?

System restore seems to have solved my problems for now at least. Doing a full system scan and I will try to different malware remvoing softwares. ESET NOD32 might not be good enough since it didnt report anything…

(Username)\Local Settings\Application Data\
There will be an exe file named something random. The symbol is a green V thingie.
Open Task Manager and type in the letters. Close the file to make it stop popping up all the time, it will just stop the pop-ups until next time you start Windows.

In windows 7 I found a strange file ucfkizfa.exe in C:\users\<user>\AppData\Local
Start Windows in Safe mode (F8) and you are able to remove this file.
After that the Security Shield messages has gone. But system is still infected. Now I’m going to install a virus scanner.

HELP! I have tried exactly what has been advised about going to system restore etc, but at every attempt this sofware constantly blocks even this and it wont even allow me to open system restore. How do you overcome this factor as I cant get anything done at all as it just blocks every single thing???

Thank you, thank you. I believe shutting down the pc and going into system restore seems to have solved my problem with security sheild. I tried to get into my add and remove but it wouldn’t let me. Shutting down is the key. Thanks again

i did a system restore in safe mode…worked fine but couldnt get to any programs without safe mode….click f8 key repeatedly upon startup to get to safemode networking and then do a normal system restore

the use of system restore seems to have worked on my sons laptop and i have installed a better internet security programme (PANDA INTERNET SECURITY 2012) dont know if it will stop this nasty bit of software but I hope so.
Is there a program out there that we can send the proliferator of this to eat their hard drive

Security Shield has driven me crazy, opening up porn sites i do not want my kids to see and then not allowing me to use the PC. Malcolm Morris advises to use system restore and he is correct, but Speed is essential. Power down your PC and leave a few minutes. Re open and as soon as you get to the start screen click
Start – Control Panel – Performance & Maintenance – System Restore.
If Security Shield starts to scan press STOP on it.
Choose a date before SS infected you and let the PC restore your PC to a good working date. Seems to have fixed my PC for now. Good luck.

Hi, I’ve just removed this shit from my notebook running XP. Reboot you machine and hold F8, you’ll get different options to boot with, take safe mode with command prompt. Once you’ll get the command prompt, follow the above mentioned 3 steps and you’ll be fine. Type “regedit” on command prompt to get the registry editor. In my case the directory structure was c:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\[RANDOM CHARACTERS].exe.

HI, i have removed security shield manualy and i will tell you how:
first open “task Manager” (ctrl,alt,del.) than open security shield. switch back to task manager and you will see security sheild, left click and on the little menu select “go to process”. when your there it will be automaticly selected then click on the “end process” button, that will shutdown security shield. next use the directory above to get to security shield. drag it into the recycle bin and that’s the end of that.
